Mormons faced opposition in that they found their own religion, through scripture. they found plates, that were eventually destroyed.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as Mormons) have been "oppressed" both informally and deliberately by associates and governments since before the Church was even founded. As a 14-year-old, Joseph Smith reported having had a vision of God as an answer to his prayer about what church to join; immediately afterward, ministers and local townspeople derided and mocked him, and his family suffered a variety of indignities and persecutions that have continued to some degree or another ever since. After the Church was organized in 1830, the hue and cry against "Mormons" increased. Some of the problems were undoubtedly due to the Mormons themselves, who 1) tended to settle together for protection and friendship away from a hostile society--then they would become a political force that others feared; 2) tended to seem self-righteous, because they believed (and still do) that their beliefs are true and others ought to agree and join them; and 3) sometimes fought back, usually with disastrous results. Most persecution of the Mormons, however, has been due to a simple lack of understanding and mistrust of those with different beliefs. (Most people would be surprised to find that those beliefs aren't as different as they think.) Some of the most obvious and nasty occasions of oppression were: 1) murders and rapes through Missouri when Mormons tried to settle there in the 1840s. In response, Missouri's governor issued (I'm not making this up) the Extermination Order, giving the go-ahead to any means to get rid of the Mormons in Missouri. Property was stolen and confiscated regularly. 2) the incarceration (under an order and guarantee of safety by the governor of Illinois) and then the murder of Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum in 1844; 3) the Haun's Mill Massacre in Missouri, where 17 men and boys were slaughtered by "neighbors." Mormons eventually left Illinois for Utah as an attempt to find a homeland where they could practice their religion in peace, and most overt persecution and oppression has gone "underground," with anti-Mormon efforts turning into a regular cottage industry for some groups.
When King states "oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever" in his letter from Birmingham, he is stating that there is hope for his people. He presents himself as determined and trustworthy by having a plan- nonviolent protests.

The signifigence of the Mormons moving west was for them to escape religious percsecution
The Mormons were hoping to find the freedom to practice their religion in peace and without persecution.
There are several reasons why Gov Ford didn't protect the Mormons. One he was concerned about retaining his position as Governor and being reelected. the people that opposed the Mormons were politically powerful and had great influence with the Governor. They told the Governor that the Mormons were causing the problems and that the rest of the population were only protecting themselves. They made the Governor believe that the Mormons were threatening the safety of the rest of the population. So he issued the extermination order. The Mormons either had to leave the State of Missouri or be exterminated.
Thy are not oppressed at all.
